Gothic Productions International, a Philippine company
funded by U.S. independent resources, has finished shooting it latest
production, a horror film titled Darkest Night, in Luzon. The film has
almost all Filipino actors, as well as American DJ Perry of "The 8th Plague,"
"Wicked Spring" and many other popular U.S. horror films. The film also
sports Malaysian talent, to round out its international cast and crew.
Synopsis
"Darkest Night" unfolds in a "found video and documentary" style.
"Its story plops American Perry right in the middle to allow western
audiences to experience a "holiday" trip away from home. Eastern audiences will
identify with the many vivid Asian characters, as well as the local and family
setting. Perry's character in the film, Ken Tyler, is introduced to the
traditional Filipino parents of his Filipino fiancé, Susan Reyes, played by Anne
Gauthier, during a Christmas Day family reunion. What follows is a dark,
horrific trip not to be missed, as demonic forces come into play."
The film is now in post production and will have a November or December 2011
premiere. This opening is expected to be followed up by theatrical play in the
Philippines and then across eastern Asia. Talks are currently underway with
distributors in the U.S. for the rights.
"Darkest Night" combines western demons with eastern spiritual traditions
to come up with an original recipe for suspense and terror.
